Walk light, for these are the bad landsnBad lands, these are the bad landsnBad seed, castor bare of soilnWeeds run free through the golden oilnMilk outside, it's bound to spoilnKnow a couple bad girls 'n they all adore younSomethin' to assure you, we'll secure younThe television say they can do that for younWanna go to sleep, gotta seek a drugnShorty on the street thinks her man's a thugnWent and got shot cuz he need the pubnRecord blew on up, tell you life is roughnMama ain't home, daddy doin' dirtnLil' Jimmy got the fo' fifth from the shirtn'Bout to go bizerk, just needs some guidancenBut in the bad lands, the results are violentnnRhymin' on the corner using gun shots for snaresnBad enough lands to make punk rockers carenThey don't give a fuck just like we don't give a fucknRighteous man get bucked and some stopped to starenBlood on they backs cuz they ran, just a grub on scrapsnNo daps, mean loves n' a slug in the airnHow many beefs wore to the point where everybody eats when it's over, that's rarenAnd in a prayer, I begged the All Mighty to sparenMy daughter from fake thugs, real drugs, and playersnI've been around that shit and I'm embarrassednYou been a town jester, that's carelessnPerilless pits I've dodged like it's my jobnThey worship twisted gods and spit facadesnTo get that wad, what will you do?nLie, cheat, steal, kill, till it kills younnTumble weeds and twisted talesnThese the bad lands where the angels fail (Bad lands)nMake money, try to stop the fearnIf you think it ain't real, then you ain't been here (Bad lands)nnThis is a place where babies are hooked on drugsnBefore they see the light of daynA land where doctors'll necessarily cut them out their mothers' stomachsnJust to make more paynTheir fathers run awaynConsumed with the most ignorant shit you can think ofnCuz it's been dangled in front their faces like a carrot to an assnBut still they know better, they're just too scared to be outcastsnIt ain't about past; let's talk present and futurenFuck presidents, what do you do with your power, your control?nControl yourselfnGoing dumb's not really a movement, you're really going dumbnLook at the shit they play on the radionAnd got the nerve to wonder why rappers keep dying in the streetsnStop putting 2pac and Biggie on magazines until you understand the significance of why they diednDon't ya'll get it? Humans are bigger than they're supposed to benCheck yourself before you come out the house holdin' a piece,nRunnin' off at the mouth, sayin' trendy shit like “yes sir” and “ye ye”nLike it's the only thing you knownYea, that shit is fun but don't let it be the only thing you knownUltimately, it won't get you anywhere and trying to get out of herenLeave these bad lands behind, get in touch with my spirit, my body, and mindnCuz I'm divinenAnd if no one ever told you you were, well you arennAnd that's it.
Lyrics by Zion I And The Grouch
